One of my shared folders disappeared after sharing it with another user.
I have just tried to share a folder with dropbox to another account and the folder has simply disappeared. It doesn't show in the online directory. It doesn't come up when I look for deleted files ei...
No worries, please let us know if you experience this issue again, or have any other queries!
This just happened to me, too. Oddly, I shared a folder with a ton of files inside it. The folder has disappeared completely from the web interface, BUT, it shows up in the "Shared - Dropbox" list. Oddly, even though I created the folder and it's mine and was not shared with anyone else before, it now shows "You haven't joined this folder yet" underneath the folder name.
If I click "Join" I get an error.
I waited 10 minutes and tried again. Boom, the folder is back!
It seems when you share large folders, Dropbox does something in the background and the folder temporarily disappears. If you wait long enough, it re-appears.
